The objective of this study was to provide an assessment of recreational bank angling in the Free State Province using licence sale and tournament data. During 2013 and 2014, 8 256 and 7 710 angling licences were sold, respectively. This represents a decline of 76% compared to the total licence sales in the Province in 1971. Tournament catch and effort data were obtained for 4 796 tournaments that were held on 17 dams from 1974 to 2014. Reported tournament effort decreased by 67% from 8 548 tournament days in 1998 to 2 828 days in 2014. Tournament catch composition was dominated by alien common carp Cyprinus carpio. Overall, this species comprised 81% of the weight and 77% of the number of fish landed during tournaments making it the most important angling species. The recent observed increase in subsistence angling could not be included in the analysis as participants are mostly not licensed. Alternative methods are therefore required if total catch and effort are to be estimated. Keywords: recreational, fisheries, catch, effort, participation INTRODUCTION to the diet even in non-fishing households (Ellender et al., 2010b). In these non-fishing households, fish was purchased In South Africa, subsistence and recreational angling is from anglers who sold their excess catch (Ellender et al., 2009). currently the dominant form of utilisation of inland fisheries Ellender et al. (2010b) therefore recommended that the value of (Ellender et al., 2010a; McCafferty et al., 2012; Weyl and angling for communities near impoundments should be taken Cowley, 2015). This is anomalous in the African context as into consideration when developing inland fisheries. This is fisheries in other countries are generally heavily exploited particularly relevant because there is increasing evidence that by small-scale fishers using gears such as gill nets, seine nets subsistence-motivated angling is becoming an important use of and traps (Weyl et al., 2010; Cooke et al., 2013; Weyl and South African impoundments (Weyl et al., 2007; Ellender et al., Cowley, 2015). Although inland fisheries in South Africa are 2009; 2010b; Tapela et al., 2015). generally considered underexploited from a harvest perspective While South African inland fisheries are data-poor, data (Weyl et al., 2007; Britz et al., 2015), case studies of angling from angling tournaments are a valuable resource which on the Hartbeespoort Dam (Cochrane, 1987) and the Gariep can be used to derive preliminary angler catch statistics for Dam (Ellender et al., 2009, 2010a, 2010b) suggest that harvests fisheries (Hargrove et al., 2015). Some recreational anglers by recreational and subsistence anglers can be considerable. are members of angling clubs that are affiliated to the South Cochrane (1987), for example, estimated a mean annual harvest African Sport Anglers and Casting Confederation (SASACC), of 695 tons of fish from the 2 000 ha eutrophic Hartbeespoort an organisation which in 2016 represented 28 433 anglers Dam by recreational anglers from the metropolitan settlements (SASACC, 2016). Members of angling clubs often take part in Gauteng. In a more rural setting, Ellender et al. (2010a) in angling tournaments (Taylor et al., 2015). As one of the estimated anglers harvested 88 t·y–1 from the Gariep Dam, aims of tournament angling is qualification for a place on a situated on the provincial boundary between the Eastern provincial or national team, members are guided by, and must Cape and Free State Provinces. Ellender et al. (2010a; 2010b) adhere to, the constitution, policies, rules and regulations of demonstrated that this harvest contributed directly to the SASACC and, importantly, report their tournament catch livelihoods of some 450 anglers whose primary motivation data to the local conservation departments. In the absence of for angling was subsistence. Subsequent household surveys, fishery independent survey data, these tournament data are a in the rural settlements of Venterstad in the Eastern Cape and valuable resource that can be used to indicate the status of a fish Hydro Park in the Free State, revealed that 56% of households stock and enable comparative assessments between fisheries contained at least 1 angler and that fish contributed significantly (Hargrove et al., 2015). * To whom all correspondence should be addressed: Tel: +2751 400 4787; e-mail: [email protected] Received 26 October 2016; accepted in revised form 20 June 2017 http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/wsa.v43i3.09 Available on website http://www.wrc.org.za ISSN 1816-7950 (Online) = Water SA Vol. 43 No. 3 July 2017 Published under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence 442 Angling has a long history in the Free State Province. recreational anglers and to use bank-angling tournament catch In an overview of recreational fisheries in 1963, Yates (1963) data to provide a detailed description of target species and noted that there were limited angling opportunities due to catch rates by this sector in the Free State Province. the seasonal flows of the rivers and reported that the best angling was to be had in the rivers after rains, when carp MATERIALS AND METHODS Cyprinus carpio and yellowfish Labeobarbus spp. appeared in large numbers. With the construction of several large Study area impoundments during the Orange River Development Project The Free State Province covers an area of 129 480 km2 and has (ORDP), Opperman (1965) noted the vast potential that the a population of 2.8 million people (www.statssa.gov.za). The project had for the development of fisheries in central South Province is situated centrally within the Orange-Senqu River Africa. Indeed, inland fisheries are now of considerable interest Basin which is the most turbid river system in Africa (Compton because the Free State Province contains 412 impoundments, et al., 2010) and the fourth most turbid river in the world mainly located in the Orange and Vaal River basins, which (Bremner et al., 1990). Nearly 90% of the land in the Province cover a combined surface area of 147 677 ha at full capacity. is used for agriculture, of which 30% is accounted for by crop The potential for fisheries in these impoundments to contribute production (FS DETEA, 2009). The need for water resulted in to economic development and food security is of interest to the construction of 412 impoundments that cover a combined the provincial government. Unfortunately, the lack of formal surface area of 147 677 ha. Due to the seasonality of rainfall monitoring of inland fisheries is a severe impediment to and water released from dams for irrigation, the water levels of informed decision making (Weyl and Cowley, 2015). most dams fluctuate seasonally with periods of sharp increase Tournament catch data are available for public dams where in capacity, followed by periods of gradual or sharp decrease in access to public waters by anglers is controlled by the Free water level. State Department of Economic, Small Business Development, The fish fauna of the OSRS is known for its low species Tourism and Environmental Affairs (FS DESTEA). This is diversity. Fish communities in Free State dams are dominated because fisheries are managed according to the provisions of by 4 large cyprinids, namely Orange River mudfish Labeo Nature Conservation Ordinance 8 of 1969 (NCO, 1969) and capensis, moggel Labeo umbratus, L. aeneus, C. carpio, and the Nature Conservation Regulations of 1983 (NCR, 1983) the sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus (Barkhuizen, 2015).

Importantly, all recreational anglers in the Free These fish are mostly targeted from the shoreline by angling State Province are required to be in possession of a valid with rod-and-reel and baited hooks as described for the Gariep angling licence. Angling tournament organizers are required to Dam recreational fishery by Ellender et al. (2009). This form submit tournament results to the FS DESTEA within 2 weeks of angling is nationally referred to as bank angling and some of the event. The aim of the current study was, therefore, to participants belong to angling clubs that are affiliated to the use licence sale data to obtain a first estimate of the number of Free State Freshwater Bank Angling Association (FSFBAA). TABLE 1 Summary of the provisions and restrictions with regards to the conservation and utilisation of freshwater fish in the Free State Province according to the NCO (1969) and NCR (1983) as amended on 17 March 1995 Aspect Notes Angling licence All anglers must be in possession of a valid angling licence when fishing. An angling licence costs 40 ZAR and is valid for a period of 1 year, i.e. ,1 January until 31 December. Private landowners, their families and employees are exempted from having an angling licence when angling off-channel impoundments on farm land. Access Permission must be obtained prior to entering any angling area. Restrictions Restrictions may be put in place for the catch of certain species during certain periods. Spawning fish, their ova and fry and spawning areas may not be disturbed and these areas may not be entered into. Gear Anglers may only use 2 lines to which no more than 2 hooks with natural bait, 2 artificial flies or 1 artificial lure or spoon, are attached.

  • Chapter Two: Study Areas with General Materials and Methods
    Chapter Two: Study Areas with General Materials and Methods 40 2 Study areas with general materials and methods 2.1 Introduction to study areas To reach the aims and objectives for this study, one lentic and one lotic system within the Vaal catchment had to be selected. The lentic component of the study involved a manmade lake or reservoir, suitable for this radio telemetry study. Boskop Dam, with GPS coordinates 26o33’31.17” (S), 27 o07’09.29” (E), was selected as the most representative (various habitats, size, location, fish species, accessibility) site for this radio telemetry study. For the lotic component of the study a representative reach of the Vaal River flowing adjacent to Wag ‘n Bietjie Eco Farm, with GPS coordinates 26°09’06.69” (S), 27°25’41.54” (E), was selected (Figure 3). Figure 3: Map of the two study areas within the Vaal River catchment, South Africa Boskop Dam Boskop manmade lake also known as Boskop Dam is situated 15 km north of Potchefstroom (Figure 4) in the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality in the North West Province (Van Aardt and Erdmann, 2004). The dam is part of the Mooi River water scheme and is currently the largest reservoir built on the Mooi River (Koch, 41 1975). Apart from Boskop Dam, two other manmade lakes can be found on the Mooi River including Kerkskraal and Lakeside Dam (also known as Potchefstroom Dam).
